Their "full-funnel" mindset sets them apart in the mobile space. They're deeply invested in lower-funnel events, trials, and paid subscriptions, rather than just top-level installs. Their ability to manage complex, multilingual execution while acting as a seamless extension of our own team was impressive. They were fully aware of the connection between ASO and UA and implemented numerous optimizations that helped our subscription app grow. Their expertise and the tangible revenue results they delivered make them a top-tier choice for any scaling subscription app.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Topanda could have done differently?

Nope. Their interplay of ASO and paid UA strategies was highly effective.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am Head of Growth & UA at a healthtech startup that provides an innovative remote physical therapy solution for both patients and providers. The growth and performance of our iOS app are under my full responsibility.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Topanda?

We hired Topanda to grow our iOS app users. Our goal was to improve our app's presence in the app stores and to acquire high-value users through targeted campaigns on Apple Search Ads. Before contacting Topanda, our app struggled to gain good visibility on both Apple App Store and Apple Search Ads.

We lacked a sufficient volume of downloads from key search terms in our industry and weren’t ranking in the top 10 for key terms in our category. Due to our limited visibility, we have difficulties reaching relevant audiences even with our paid Apple Search Ads campaigns.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I was looking for a mobile marketing agency that specializes in UA growth and has experience with startups. I approached Robert after seeing several notes and tips that he has been posting to his LinkedIn profile. After meeting Robert in person, I felt that I could trust his company with our mobile marketing project. I’m glad I made that decision.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

Topanda’s team started by providing us with a detailed Gantt chart outlining the entire process for three months. We knew exactly where we were and what would happen next at each step of the process. ASO (app store optimization) project: Topanda did a full health check of our iOS mobile app and conducted a deep analysis of our historical data and a competitor analysis.

Following the research, my team and I were presented with a full view of our mobile app listing’s strengths and weaknesses. Topanda turned its initial research into an organized set of prioritized opportunities to boost our app’s keyword rankings and visibility. Several KPIs were set to ensure the process would achieve the goals aligned with our business objectives. We requested that Topanda get us in the top-10 ranking for several important search keywords and achieve a significant increase in organic installs from generic (non-branded) search terms.

• The ASO (app store optimization) strategy was derived from our KPIs and contained the following steps:
• Keyword research — This allowed us to learn how users search for apps in the app store and discover the best opportunities for reaching the most valuable users.
• Metadata optimization — Topanda presented an advanced method for optimizing the metadata elements of our app's listings (titles, subtitles, descriptions, icons, graphics, and more) to maximize our presence in the app store search results.
• Visual assets creation — Our in-house design team received a comprehensive brief and close guidance to help them produce the best ASO-focused visual assets for our listing.

After the deployment of Topanda’s ASO recommendations, their team monitored the daily progress of our keyword rankings, app visibility, and organic growth KPIs. On a bi-weekly basis, we received recommendations for our metadata and visual asset optimization based on the progress of Topanda’s ongoing keywords/competitors research.

ASA (apple search ads) campaigns management project: Topanda has performed similar keyword research to find the most relevant paid keywords for Apple’s mobile advertising platform. Topanda’s UA specialist structured a simple-to-understand and growth-oriented campaign structure that helped us comprehend their entire work process from campaign setup to optimization.

After campaigns were launched, we received access to a powerful Google Data Studio dashboard which visualized all our performance data including daily tracking of UA KPIs, such as cost per install (CPI) and install rates, CPA of deep funnel conversion events, and in-app purchases.

As the main KPI for the paid user acquisition campaign has been to increase in-app purchases, Topanda UA specialists have begun implementing an optimization process focused on sales, showing significant improvement in that regard. While providing ASO and ASA management services, I know that Topanda’s team were using some advanced mobile marketing technologies.

Specifically, they used Appsflyer for the tracking of ASA campaigns performance and MobileAction for the ASO research and rankings monitoring. They also utilized Google Data Studio to produce a visual reporting dashboard for our daily followups.

What was the team composition?

We worked closely with Robert (CEO) and consulted with Yuri, who is responsible for the ongoing management of the paid campaigns and analytics.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

On our iOS app store listings, 24 new keywords achieved a top-10 position. New user acquisitions from organic non-brand searches on Apple App Store increased by 32% compared to the previous 5-month period before working with Topanda.

New organic in-app purchases from non-branded searches on Apple App Store grew 2.65X times compared to the previous 5-month period prior to working with Topanda. The Apple Search Ads Campaigns delivered results with CPA 15% lower than our initial goal.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was smoothly executed. During the entire project, we knew what Topanda was working on, and for any question we had, we received a detailed a0nd professional answer within 24 hours (most of the time, the same day).

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Without a doubt, the personal touch and the vast experience in mobile marketing. Fantastic communications, amazing reporting, and solid results. Robert and Yuri were eager to maximize our growth opportunities. Topanda’s team was motivated to help us with any question or matter. It felt as if they were part of our company’s team.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

Nope

I am the Team Leader Analyst at a fintech startup company that ranks financial analysts and provides comprehensive investing tools for private investors. Growth and performance of our mobile apps (iOS and Android) are entirely my responsibility.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Topanda?

We hired Topanda because we wanted to grow our mobile app users. We wanted to maximize our app's presence in the app stores, as well as improve the way we conduct paid user acquisition campaigns via Apple Search Ads.

Before approaching Topanda, our app had only limited visibility on both Apple App Store and Google Play. We did not see a sufficient volume of downloads from key search terms in our industry. We were not in the top 10 rankings for terms that were important to us.

Our paid campaigns lacked order and focus. We couldn’t acquire high-value users while running these campaigns by ourselves.

SOLUTION

How did you select Topanda?

One of our team members had worked closely with Topanda on the growth of his previous employer’s mobile app and was highly satisfied with their professionalism and quality of service. He recommended that I meet with Topanda’s CEO, Robert Nachum.

I was impressed by Robert’s methodical approach to mobile marketing. He impressed me as an expert in his field, and later on, he and his team delivered a service that was above and beyond my expectations.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

First, we got a super detailed Gantt chart that laid out the entire process for a three- month period.

At each moment, we knew exactly where we were and what would happen next. ASO (app store optimization) project: Topanda started with a full health check of our two mobile apps (iOS & Android), including a deep analysis of our historical mobile marketing data and a competitor analysis.

Following Topanda’s research, my team and I were given a full view of our mobile app listing’s strengths and weaknesses. Topanda translated their initial research into a set of prioritized opportunities aimed at boosting our app store rankings and visibility.

We set several KPIs to make sure that the process would achieve the goals aligned with our business objectives. We asked Topanda to get us in the top-10 ranking for several important search keywords and achieve a significant increase in organic installs from generic (non-branded) search terms.

The ASO (app store optimization) strategy derived for our KPIs consisted of the following steps: Keyword research — allowing us to learn how our users search for apps in the app store and find the best opportunities for finding the most valuable users.

Metadata optimization — Topanda used a methodical approach to optimizing the metadata elements of our app's listings (titles, subtitles, descriptions, icons, graphics, and more) so as to maximize our presence in the app store search results.

Visual assets creation — Our in-house design team received a comprehensive brief and close guidance to help them produce the best ASO-focused visual assets for our listing.

After the deployment of Topanda’s ASO recommendations, their team monitored the daily progress of our keyword rankings, app visibility, and organic growth KPIs. On a bi-weekly basis, we received recommendations for our metadata and visual asset optimization based on the progress of Topanda’s ongoing keywords/competitors research.

ASA (apple search ads) campaigns management project: Topanda conducted similar keyword research to find the most relevant paid keywords foron Apple’s advertising platform.

Topanda’s UA specialist structured an easy-to-understand and growth-oriented campaign structure which was very important to us as we planned to maintain UA management in-house after receiving a professional headstart from outsourced experts.

After the launch of the campaigns, we had access to a detailed Google Data Studio dashboard which visualized our progress with daily tracking of UA KPIs, such as cost per install (CPI) and install rates, CPA of deep funnel conversion events, and in-app purchases.

As main KPI for the paid user acquisition campaign has been to increase in-app purchases, Topanda UA specialists have begun implementing an optimization process focused on sales, showing significant improvement in that regard.

They also utilized Google Data Studio to produce a visual reporting dashboard for our daily followups.

What was the team composition?

We worked closely with Robert (CEO) and consulted with Yuri who is responsible for the ongoing management of the paid campaigns and the analytical reporting.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

On our app store listings (iOS & Android), more than 20 new keywords achieved a top-10 position. New user acquisitions from organic non-brand searches on Google Play Store increased by 23.45% compared to the previous period prior to working with Topanda.

The Apple Search Campaigns resulted in a 4.8X increase in deep-funnel conversions, while CPA was reduced by 32% during a period of four months, and an 83% increase in in-app purchases.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow was very well executed. We always knew what Topanda was working on, and for any question we had, we would receive a detailed and professional answer within 24 hours (most of the time, the same day).

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Definitely the personal touch and the mobile marketing professionalism. Perfect communications, excellent reporting, and great results. Robert and Yuri were always eager to get us the best possible performance. They were highly motivated to help us with any question or matter. It almost felt as if they were part of the in-house team.

Is there any area for improvement or anything that could have been done differently?

All in all, I am very satisfied

Im the head of digital marketing at a transportation company. All aspects of the company's digital marketing, including paid and organic marketing, fall under my responsibility.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Topanda, and what were your goals?

Topanda was hired in order to increase our app's organic visibility on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Even though we are Israel's largest transportation company, we didn't optimize our app store keywords, descriptions, conversion rates, etc. until we worked with Topanda. We aimed to increase organic traffic from both app stores and optimize conversion rates.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We came across Topanda through personal recommendations from leading marketing professionals who had previously worked with them on the optimization of their apps in the app stores.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and marking tools used.

In order to better comprehend our ASO status, Topanda conducted keyword and competitor research for us at the beginning of the process. Then, they update our app's keywords, titles, descriptions, and screenshots in both app stores according to their research and best ASO practices. They made sure that, from that moment on, they would track our category rankings, organic installs, impressions, conversation rates, etc. on a weekly basis.

Moreover, they helped us to track our in-app metrics, choose the right attribution software, as well as give us advice on everything related to app growth, such as engagement with our audience, different growth tactics, etc.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We were in constant communication with Robert who is Topanda’s CEO.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

- We've reached the top 10 with all of our main keywords in the Apple App Store and Google Play. - Our organic traffic increased by 40% on Google Play. - Our organic traffic increased by 57% on Apple's App Store.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The workflow between my team and Topanda was excellent. I wish that I could have this kind of communication with all of the vendors I work with.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The most impressive aspect about Topanda is the attention to details, the communication, and the support, as well as the fact that the agency is data-driven. They have a great deal of experience with both of the app stores, and all their answers to different things that occurred with our app were based on what they had already observed with other apps they have worked with in the past.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Nothing I can think of.

Topanda's approach consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism and proficiency. While their strategies yielded impressive results, an additional avenue for enhancement could involve an even more granular analysis of user engagement patterns within specific demographic segments. 

Furthermore, a periodic reassessment and adjustment of campaign elements could provide an opportunity to adapt swiftly to evolving market dynamics. These suggestions, however, in no way overshadow the exceptional value and outcomes that Topanda delivered throughout our collaboration.
